Gay Priest Retreat In Maryland This Coming April

Last week LifeSiteNews published an opinion piece entitled "Time For Bishops To Be Faithful And Shut Down Renegade Priests Who Champion Homosexuality".  A picture of Baltimore's Archbishop William Lori is at the top of the piece.  The reason for that is the scheduled "retreat" for gay priests that is slated to be held at Bon Secours Retreat Center in Marriottsville MD from April 12-14.   The retreat is being led by Fr Peter Daly and most likely Father James Martin will be in attendance.  Let's examine the pieces to this impending debacle.

Bon Secours is itself a dissident den of iniquity.  If the name sounds familiar to readers of this blog, that is because Bon Secours is where Gordon Creamer, gay-married parish council chair of St Ignatius Catholic Church, carries on with his so-called "spiritual direction".  St Ignatius is a parish in the Mount Vernon area of Baltimore City.  They openly flaunt their participation in Baltimore's "gay pride" parade/orgies.  I tried to engage the pastor about the matter, but oddly enough (cough!) he wasn't particularly interested in discussing the matter!  I submit that this pastor, along with Fr Joseph Muth of St Matthew's on Loch Raven Blvd are priests whom Lori should shut down.

Let's look at the retreat leader, Father Peter Daly, as I've written quite a bit about him, too.  In this anthology of posts, you see an account of his interactions with  young men struggling with same-sex attraction.  He admits to telling them that their disordered inclinations aren't disordered and that to act on them isn't sinful.  He pointed them straight towards hell and gave a nudge.  One can bet that is exactly what will happen in Marriottsville in two months.

Now let's look at the reactions of the two Maryland archbishops.  Archbishop Lori continues to turn a blind eye on both St Matthew's and St Ignatius.  Both are dens of gay perversions; there could be more.  These are the only two of which I'm aware at this time  Archbishop Gregory has actually shown himself to be an ally of proponents of gay perversions.  This past summer he openly praised Fortunate Familes duing one of his first "Theology on Tap" presentations.

Will they listen to our demands that they clean up their churches?  One language that they seem to understand is that of money - or more accurately, lack of donation money.  The DC archdiocese is gearing up for its Annual Appeal.  It used to be called the Archbishop's or Cardinal's Appeal (depending on rank of prelate).  They at least know that they cannot invoke the prelate to raise money, as our prelates of late have been, uh, "credibility-challenged" shall we say.  On the webpage they say that 60+ charities are supported via this collection.  Guess what?  You can support good charities directly, without the Archdiocese taking a cut of them.  Moreover, you'd be able to select the recipients of your hard-earned dollars.  Do NOT give one red penny to this or any other diocesan-wide collection.  They have proven over and over again to be unworthy recipients of donations and inept stewards to boot.  I don't know when the Baltimore campaign will happen, but that too should be boycotted until Archbishop Lori disinfects St Matthew's and St Ignatius AND quashes this upcoming "retreat".

When Will Archbishop Lori Clean Out St Ignatius Church In The Mount Vernon Area?

Last evening Archbishop Lori led a New Year's Eve "interfaith prayer service" at St. Ignatius in Baltimore.  Behold this from the Archdiocese's facebook page.


Yes, it's this parish.  Whatever other "faith" might have been represented there last evening, the Roman Catholic faith got short shrift.  As we look at the parish's web site, we see that Gordon Creamer is still the honcho behind its LGBT dating service "ministry".  Please note that this page still openly boasts of its participation in Baltimore's "pride parades" during the past several years.  Now take a look at who is chair of the parish council.  Yep!  It's "gay-married" Gordon Creamer!  Bear in mind that I am linking to the parish's pages as they appeared today.  When I wrote this account of my very brief interaction with the pastor, Creamer was just a member.  So that means that during the intervening three months, Creamer was elevated to a more prominent position in the parish.

Ladies and gentlemen, particularly Catholics of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the Archbishop knows damned well what is going on here - and at St Matthew's, for that matter.  He is doing absolutely nothing to expunge the poison that is spiritually killing the Catholics under his watch.  Faithful Catholics there, I suggest that you cease any archdiocesan contributions immediately, and if he ever appears publicly, challenge him on these matters (and have a friend record the exchange).  We simply have to hold their feet to the fire.  What I stated in this post's title would be an excellent New Year's resolution for him and his brother bishops.

My Conversation With The Pastor Of A Homophile Parish

As a follow-up to my post a few days ago regarding St Ignatius Church in Baltimore MD, I decided to call the parish and to see what they intended to do about the scandalous situation that they are allowing to happen.  I placed the call at 1:30 pm today, and this is how things transpired.



I believe that actually was Father Casciotti with whom I spoke ever so briefly.  The long and short of it is that he knew all along about Creamer's sodomy and either 1) doesn't care or 2) is all for enabling mortal sins of homosexual relations within the context of his parish.  For all intents and purposes, that renders St. Ignatius a den of vipers.

Obviously Father was uncomfortable and disgruntled with being called on his cooperation with mortal sin - which is its own mortal sin, by the way.  It's good that he was perturbed by the call.  Maybe that will cause some spark of conscience to come to life.

I suspect that the parish may well be a hangout of perverts and their enablers.  For the few decent Catholics that remain, I'd suggest a boycott of the collection; send your money to a faithful religious order (NOT the Jesuits!) or some other charity like a soup kitchen.  Don't feed your money to this cabal until they demonstrate real repentance.

I intend to contact the Archdiocese of Baltimore next week and I reiterate my call for faithful Catholics to likewise contact this pastor and Archbishop Lori.  Whether by cowardice, indifference or even approval of sodomy, both men are allowing souls in their charge to careen towards hell and unless they change course, they will have much for which they must answer come their Judgment Days.

UPDATE:
Check out this parish bulletin.  Creamer is also on the parish council.  Whatever else "meeting the sinner where they are" means, it does NOT mean placing the sinner in prominent positions while the sinner is still engaging in his/her mortal sin.  When you contact both Casciotti and Archbishop Lori, politely but firmly insist that Creamer be removed from the council and this LGBT ministry abolished, both for the good of Creamer's soul and to remove scandal from the parish.

Baltimore LGBT Ministry Being Run By A Practicing Gay

St Matthew's on Loch Raven Boulevard is by no means Baltimore's only parish to be headed to hell in a handbasket.  For a handy list of such parishes, we can thank (?) New Ways Ministry for its list of "LGBTQ-friendly parishes".  Of course we know that these parishes are on that list as they are reputed to be, in varying degrees, feeding their children scorpions when they need solid Catholic teaching and faithful administration of the Sacraments.

Of course St Matthew's is listed, but let's look at St. Ignatius in this post.  As expected from its name, it is a Jesuit-run parish, so that's one strike against it right then and there.  Like St Matthew's, this parish also has an unabashed presence during Baltimore's "pride parades".  We see that the parish has a LGBTQ "ministry" that they call "Embracing God's Gifts".    I wonder what they would call a ministry for serial rapists/murderers, but I digress!  Most of these groups are nothing more than mortal sinners and their enablers trying to justify their mortal sins to themselves and each others; and they probably also function as "dating services".

This group is under the direction of Gordon Creamer.  As one of his other endeavors, he created something called Mission Bridge.  He touts himself to be a "spiritual director" and Reiki practitioner.  The latter is thoroughly new age and thus heretical.  So is the Sisters of Bon Secours (where this Mission Bridge is headquartered)..  They are headquartered in Marriotsville MD.  Over ten years ago, when I was a board member of the Gabriel Network, we held a board meeting there, not knowing just what the place was.  I arrived at the meeting late and dashed into our meeting room, not having time to take in my surroundings.  After the meeting ended, we looked around and were aghast at what we saw: pamphlets touting the benefits of crystals and ashrams and of course, the labyrinth outside.  Needless to say, we never returned.  I digress again!


Now please take a look at the top picture.  This picture is from St Ignatius's page on the 2019 pride parade.  The other man is Brian Fitzek. A picture of him can be seen on his Linkedin page.  You can see the two of them together in the next picture from Fitzek's facebook page (right side).  By the way - isn't that outfit on Creamer just..special?  Interesting yellow fluffy hat and spaghetti straps, with his hand on Fitzek's shoulder!  But again I digress.

Below is an announcement of their "marriage" that ran in the October 16, 2014 edition of the Baltimore Sun (note the web reference at the bottom of the picture).  Consider that Creamer and Fitzek co-own their home, according to the MD Department of Assessments and Taxation.  These facts indicate that Creamer and Fitzek are in a sodomite relationship.  The important question is, does Father Casciotti know about this?  In fact, does he care?

We may well surmise that in his parish position of running this "embracing God's gifts" thing, Creamer is utterly unqualified to be promoting chastity to those afflicted with same-sex attractions.  The situation is not akin to a "wolf in sheep's clothing" but rather a "wolf in shepherd's clothing".  We should contact the parish here and suggest his removal.

While having this conversation with the parish, we might well ask them how it could be that they would allow such an obvious dissident to be in a prominent position in the parish.  If nothing else, Creamer seems to be quite open about his proclivities.  I don't for one second believe that they are so oblivious that they failed to notice that their parish was marching in gay parades.  The parish administration is most likely guilty of aiding and abetting sodomite sins and they need to be rebuked.  Quite frankly, I think they only way they will understand that is if the Sunday collection baskets are boycotted.

I would also suggest contacting Archbishop Lori about this situation.  Now we see that at least two of Baltimore's parishes (St Matthew's is the other known one) participate in that debauched orgy known as Baltimore Pride while carrying their parishes' names on their banners.  What is he doing about this mess?  Why does he persist on turning a blind eye to these (known) scandals?  Perhaps a boycott of the collection baskets might finally get his attention.
